Wants to be President Again.

There is a marked change ot late in the presidents manner to- ward representative men ofhls par ty. Fora long time he was business like and often brusque with demo-
 cratic congressman who came to see him. He gave time grudglngly. He was impatient with those who differed from him. The ex- cuse was offered that there was such great pressure for the offices MT. Cleveland con!d not well be differently. But this was not sat isfactory to many who offered It.. Feeling that tEcy were not made welcome at the Whitc House, dem- ocratic congressman remained away, going only when important business made a visit absolutely necessary. Tine strange and un- precedented action of democratic senators and representatives not calling on the president New Years day, was like a revelation Of strength of that alien feeling which has developed between Mir. Cleye- land and the leaders of his party. And HOW for the first time Ill this administration, there is q manifest effort to have tho party leaders make themselves at home in the mansion. Members who long ago ceased calling on the president are surprised to receive verbal m- vitations that MT. Cleveland would like to see them, and when they respond they find their suggestions and advice are wanted. Ina word, the president is now courting his party through it's representatives. Instead of the standing up recep- ton, the Well, whatis it?' man. ner, and the dismissal after hurried presentation ot business, democrat ic leaders are now asked to come at off hours; they are enYited to sit down; they are questioned; they are consulted, aud their views as to various features of party policy are heard with manifest respect

AGRICULTURAL.
Oats.

Oats are one of the seyerest crops in taxing fertility that the farmer grows. They ripen late, and these two facts combined make them an undesirable crop to precede wheat. The production of a crop Of oats takes the same kind of clements as wheat crop, aud after it is of the soil is pumped dry of the food that the growing wheat plant needs. The difficulty is aggravated if any effort Is made to SOW the wheat early. This means blowing and seeding with little preparation, and with prob ably two grains of scattering oats for every one of wheat to come up and contest with the more valna- ble grain for what food there Is. Tire oai plant grows with a large, broad leai, which quite overshad- ows the wheat until the frost kills IL. The only way to get good wheat crops after oats is to har- vest the latter very early, cutting rather green, and getting the crop in with as little smelling as possi- ble. Then blow at once, and after ward pulyerize, roll, and harden the surface by cultivation for two, or if possible, three weeks before seeding. In thls way not only will good seed bed' be obtained, but some plant food will be devel- oped. The oats which have scat tered will be cultivated under the surface, and thus increase both moisture and fertility. We would have this done thoroughly, even II the preparatioA delayed seeding until theslast day of September or earl, in October. No delay ill sowing wheat after oats Is preJudl- cial to the drop if the time is judi- ciously occupied in preparing the seed bed. When everything is ready drill in 200 pounds of phos- phate with the seed. No matter how rich the land, it will not bring good wheat after oats without an additional supply of phosphate.

Cooked and Raw Corn for Pigs.

The value of cooked corn as compared with corn in the raw state has been the subject of ex- pertinent by Prof. Shelton, of the Kansas State Agricultural College. In a report issued the figures given show as conclusively as figures eau show anything, that the cooked corn is less useful than the raw grain, the difference in favor of un- cooked corn, taking the item of pounds of feed required to make one pound of increase, amounting to exactly one-iifth. That this re- suit is not all accident Prof. Shel- ton thinks it is abundantly proven by other items of the summary.
 The daily consumption of each pig using cooked feed was almost exactly the same as the amount of raw corn used in the pens where raw corn was the exclusive food, but the average daily gain n--and of course the total gain and the gain per hundred weight of pig were in the series using the cooked feed greatly less than with the pigs us ing the raw corn. "Such an en- tire unanimity of results can only be explained,' says Prof Shelton, "upou the theory that the cooking was an injurious process so far as its use for fattening animals is con- cerned. With younger animals, whose gain would be made chiefly in growth, the cooked feed might give different results from the foregoing; but considerable gen. eral experience does not encourage this belief"
 Nothing has been said here about the cost of cooking always con- siderable item. both in respect to labor and cost of fuol.-New York World.

Sowing the Seed.

Younr man, word to you. What kind of seed are you sowlngE Are you sowing thorns and thls- ties? Remember this; the harvest will come bye and bye, and what soever a man soweth, that shall he also reap"
 If you are sowing seeds of decep- tion. fraud, dishonesty, drunken ness and vice, you will reap har' vest of bitterness of Soui, anguish of mind and remorse of conscience, if not eternal woe, just as sure as night follows day.
 There was once in the State, a minister of the Gospel in high standing. He rose to be an orna- ment and a power for good in the Church. In his younger days this minister was wild and reckless. He drank, and he profaned. He was afterwards married, and there were born to him two sons These sons grew up 10 manhood. One took to drink aud ruined his life; the other was a disgrace to his name.
 The suffering caused to the heart of this father in his latter years was the harvest of bitterness and of sorrow, that followed his seed sowing to the world in his young CT days. The bitter memories of his own life would seem to have been enough, but then one must, always expect to reap more than he sows.
 Young man think of these things. You may laugh at them if you will i, but the harvest is bound to follow. It does not pay to SOW what young men call "wild oats" They will produce nothing but sorrow and suffering in the end. fyou SOW seeds of Soberness, truth, honor, morality, purity. 'lrtue and good ness, you will reap a.rich harvest of peace and haE Epiness that will be worth more to your life than all the gold of earth. Some one has most beautifully said. "Sow an act and you reap habit, SOW habit and you reap character, SOW a character and you reap a destiny.' What sort of d destiny, young man. are you preparing to reap! Think of it.-Ex.

ONE LIVED, THE OTHER DIED.

A wOman formerly our slave is now our cook. About eighteen months ago she be- came sickly and haG cough and was con- fined to bed. and it was thought she had consumption.

In December, 1884. q node or knot the size of goose eggformed just above the pit of the stomach. which when lanced discharged matter for s or 9 months. One of these also formed under her arrn and three on her back, which dis charged matter for considerable time, For six months of this time she was confined to the house, and most of the time in bed, The stomach often refused food, by rejecting what she had eaten. She used great deal of medicine, but faile1 to be cured. bought one bottle of your B. B. B. (madein Atlanta, Ga and gave 1t to her and she commenced to improve. I then bought and gave her three bottles more, and she continued to i'm prove and in two months time her cough had ceased, her constitution strengthened, appetite and digestion good, all discharges ceased, mods or knots disappeared and she went to work apparently healthy and fatten- ed up greatly.

A MOVEMENT is on foot in New York
10 secure the Communication of the death
sentence of Mrs. Druse. the Herkimer
county murderess. to imprisonment for
life. solely upon the ground that she is Il
woman. The crime for which she was
convicted was peculiarly horrible in the
matter of its execution. The victim was
her own husband and after the murder
was committed she attempted to conceal
the crime by dismemberIng the ghastly
evidence of her crime and feeding it to
the hogs The movement to save her
from death on the plea of her sex, is il
logical in the extreme. No distinction of
sex is made in the punishment of minor
crimes; why should the line be drawn at
murder? A woman's conscious is Just
acute as that of man, She is fully as
conscious when she does wrong. If she
com mits murder the crime is just as black
aud the misery she causes just as deep rs
though the perpetrator were a male.
Why should not the punishment be iden>
tical?"

''even ask us to use the soldiers of Germany
TO bar Russia's road TO Constantinople This
might be 10 the interest of England, but we
have difficult task TO maintain peace be
tween the two powers, both friendly to US
and we to them. Had acted in 1867 in the
Luxembourg question not as mediator, but

should not have had TO meet one bloody war,
but we would have had to meet many, and
for many years. II Russia attacks us we
must and shall defend ourselves to the last
drop of blood At present Russia has NO
cause TO attack us, nor have we any reason
to attack her.
DR. Windthorst again declared that the
proper Interpretation of the constitution was
entirely at variance with the chanceilor's
ideas OF political and economic policy.
Prince Bismarck-fhe constitution plainly
directs that the emperor shall fix the standard
of an effective army. If the reichstag re-
fuses TO grant the emperor's demands the
king Of Prussia has still the resource of ap-
pealing to the lendtag, which will I'M
doubtedly grant them We wish to preserve.
You wish to eneroach. We retain our old
